Columbia University Accused of Mishandling Sexual Assaults

Columbia University students have decided to charge their school with a federal complaint after they say the university failed victims of sexual assault.  CNN reports that the students claim that not only did Columbia discourage victims from reporting the crimes, they also let those who committed the act to stay on campus, did not punish the perpetrators accordingly, and discriminated against the victims according to their sexual orientation.  I found this article interesting because it shows that even at the most expensive and prestigious colleges, people can still find themselves victims of sexual assault.  it will be interesting to see how the case plays out.
